The Maui Film Festival is a five day event filled with creative films, documentaries, awards, and culinary events. Thursday, June 3, 2015 was the opening night and a great success. With preparation and organization, we offered both public parking shuttles and resort shuttles to the Celestial Cinema and Taste of Wailea event at the Wailea Gold & Emerald Gold Course. We had six Van Hool Motorcoaches lined up and ready to shuttle guests to-and-from the public parking lot to the Celestial Cinema and four smaller tour buses going to the resorts within the area.

As cars arrived to the public parking lot, guests lined up ready to go with their lawn chairs, blankets, friends and family. Our incredible staff helped load the lawn chairs and guests found a comfortable seat on our spacious air conditioned buses. The professional and trained drives arrived at the Celestial Cinema located at the Wailea Gold & Emerald Golf Course, assisted in unloading and circled back to the public parking lot for the next groups. The Akina Tour buses continued to work like clockwork throughout the entire event making transportation smooth and convenient.

Those attending enjoyed the evening with two outstanding films and a variety of vendors, including Maui Upcountry Coffee, Ono Gelato, Haleakala Solar and more. The Maui Film Festival's opening night was a huge success and if you didn't get the opportunity to attend this year, there is always next year.
